With the release of VR devices this year, it is no secret that in no time VR games will be a popular choice of entertainment. VR headsets have the ability to offer a level of immersion that traditional gaming cannot match.
The realistic gameplay can surely entice people to play such games as they can physically duck, dodge, swing, and aim to survive the virtual environment. While VR games can be therapeutic when used alone, some games can spark competitiveness for many people.
Here are some VR games that can be played if you are feeling competitive:
Beat Saber
Beat Saber is a popular rhythm game that is often featured in YouTube videos. The game was initially released in 2019 and can be played on Oculus, PlayStation VR, and PC VR systems.
In Beat Saber, players are using lightsabers, one in each hand, to slash through the approaching blocks while a song plays. The challenge rises as the blocks are color-coded so players can't just recklessly slash the blocks. An online leaderboard sparks competition among players with various songs and difficulty levels to choose from.
Onward
Onward is a first-person shooter (FPS) game that is designed to provide a realistic and tactical military experience through VR. Players can get immersed in a real combat situation by managing their weapons, and ammunitions, and communicating with their team.
In Onward, players can enhance their individual skills by tackling AI enemies. Once they feel confident, they can join multiplayer battles that can hold up to 10 players. Fortunately, the game supports cross-platform multiplayer which allows players from different VR platforms to play together.
Sprint Vector
Sprint Vector is a racing game that promotes a physically active racing experience in VR. The game is known for its fast-phased gameplay where players must use their hands to be able to run, jump, and climb into the virtual environment of the game. While the game can be played alone, multiplayer mode allows players to have head-to-head races against other players online.
Pavlov
Pavlov is an FPS game that is often compared to Counter-Strike due to its similar gameplay. Players can engage in team matches or free-for-all battles while managing firearms and equipment. The game also portrays realistic weapon handling which requires players to manually reload and aim.
Space Junkies
Space Junkies is another FPS game but with a twist. Unlike the previous military and combat shooting games, Space Junkies is an arena-type of multiplayer shooting game where players must engage in battles in zero-gravity environments. They can also use jetpacks for mobility and dodging attacks from enemies.
